I've had ongoing insomnia for a few years, but in the past month its been worse then ever before. This month I can remember staying awake without fatigue for over 24 hours at least 4 times and when i do go to sleep, its usually not till around 4-7. I went to my doctor who took a blood and urine test and first proscribed me 25mg Hydroxyzine to take at bedtime before he got the results back from the tests, which seemed to work the first time i took it, but the next time it didn't work at first, so i took another dose a safe number of hours later and still no effect(ended up going to sleep around 7-8am), the next day i looked up the max "safe" dose, which i believe was 50mg and took that at bedtime, still no effect. That night i did not sleep so we contacted my doctor(who now had the results of my tests) the next day and he gave me 1 tsp Chloral Hydrate 500mg/5mL Syrup 2 hours before bedtime i thought it seemed to work, but by the time i got to bed i had not slept in over 36 hours anyway so i could have just normally gone to sleep, today....well now that its 3am i guess yesterday.... i took the same dose of Chloral Hydrate at 10 (now 3am) and obviously it didn't work, haven't even felt even a little drowsy yet.

I'm contacting my doctor sometime today to try and get another script, but I'd like more feedback about this then just a doctor giving me some sleep meds.

Anyone have any ideas what this could could be or how it could be helped?

Thanks a bunch.
